Great workshop in Aarhus. Thanks Eli Feiring and Ben Davies for great discussions! Eli talked about non-attendance fees, Ben about basic needs and I presented about rare diseases and priority setting.

🧵 New study: How does the Danish Medicines Council (DMC) actually set priorities?
We interviewed 17 members and observed 3 meetings to understand how decisions about new medicines are made — and justified.👇 #bioethics #prioritysetting

New paper out!
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is central to health-care priority setting. But when does it unfairly disadvantage people with disabilities? Nielsen, Hallsson, and I tested participants' views in a vignette-based survey (N = 1100, UK). 🧵#bioethics #discrimination

Attended the annual CEPDISC conference on discrimination on Friday. Lydia Tsiakiri did an excellent job presenting our paper on differential treatment based on vaccination status. Thanks to the organisers. Great to see new and familiar faces!

It was a lot of fun talking about ethics, organ donation and the Danish opt-out law. The interview is for the show 'Supertanker' on P1. #bioethics

When cities exclude the homeless, it is wrongful discrimination!
In @bjpols.bsky.social Knight and I argue that hostile design (anti-sleep benches, spikes on window ledges) should be understood as discriminatory, and wrong for the same reasons as more familiar forms of discrimination.
Very proud🥳

Just finished my talk on luck egalitarianism and the moral limits of markets at Aarhus University's philosophy Department's Research Seminar. Now the weekend awaits for both the grasshopper and the ant.

I'm very excited about the living organ donation event in Bristol next week. I'll be talking about the limits of altruism. Thanks to Bonnie Venter (@theorganogress.bsky.social ) and Liam Davis for making this happen!

Loved hosting the Controversial markets conference in Aarhus❤️ Amazing talks and the exchanges just went on seamlessly. Talking about altruism walking the bridge with no end; debating crowding out in the beautiful forest and discussing organ markets over dinner. I could not have wished for more❤️🥳

For the next three days, I will be hosting the Controversial Markets Conference in Aarhus. I am looking forward to discussing the moral limits of markets with so many brilliant people. #morallimitsofmarkets Our project is funded by Det Frie Forskningsråd

Copenhagen bound! To give a talk on 'Market discrimination' at the CEPDISC Workshop on Poverty. I'll talk about how some of the badness of discrimination that happens in relation to market transactions can be explained by people not adhering to market norms.

New publication!
In the Journal of Law and Medical Ethics, Thaysen and I argue against sentence reduction for prisoners who become living organ donors. Opportunity to donate may be unfairly unequal + the offer conflicts with most conceptions of why we punish. #organdonation #bioethics
